Going to buy new memory. Is it compatible with my motherboard?

[TheCrayonMan529]

My motherboard is MSI P67A-G43 (B3) and the memory standard for it is DDR3 1066/1333/1600*/1866*/2133*(OC). I am looking at buying G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133. Will the memory be compatible with my motherboard? My CPU is a 2500k if that matters.

My younger cousin is making a computer, and I am giving my current 4gb memory to him to save him money.

Yes those will work with the mobo, may require a slight OC of the CPU

Why would I need to oc the CPU?

Depends on CPU, not all can run 2133 at stock speed, many 2500Ks can but some need a bit of a kick, and the slight OC is easier/better than just a voltage adjustment - the SB CPUs like yours are native to 1333 sticks - should be no problem

Before I buy this, is there any ram that you would really recommend above this? The most I can do is $80 really, maybe a little more.

Go with the RipJaws you were
